Show HN: FizzBee - Formal methods in Python - Easiest Lang for
everyday use
GitHub: https://www.github.com/fizzbee-io/FizzBee Traditionally,
formal methods are used only for highly mission critical systems to
validate the software will work as expected before it's built.
Recently, every major cloud vendor like AWS, Azure, Mongo DB,
confluent, elastic and so on use formal methods to validate their
design like the replication algorithm or various protocols doesn't
have a design bug. I used TLA+ for billing and usage based metering
applications. However, the current formal methods solutions like
TLA+, Alloy or P and so on are incredibly complex to learn and use,
that even in these companies only a few actually use. Now, instead
of using an unfamiliar complicated language, I built formal methods
model checker that just uses Python. That way, any software
engineer can quickly get started and use. I've also created an
online playground so you can try it without having to install on
your machine. In addition to model checking like TLA+/PlusCal,
Alloy, etc, FizzBee also has performance and probabilistic model
checking that be few other formal methods tool does. (PRISM for
example, but it's language is even more complicated to use) Please
let me know your feedback. Url: https://FizzBee.io Git:
